LEANDER, TX, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CITY OF LEANDER AND REAL ESTATE FORUM HOST STRATEGIC DEVELOPER FORUM & NETWORKING EVENT, SHOWCASING A BLUEPRINT FOR CONNECTED CITIES
The City of Leander partnered with the Real Estate Forum (REF) Austin Chapter to host a high-impact Developer Forum & REF Networking Event on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at the Leander Activity Center, bringing together developers, builders, investors, and public officials to discuss growth opportunities in one of Central Texas’ fastest-growing cities.
Presented in partnership with the City of Leander and the Real Estate Forum (REF) Austin Chapter, the event was sponsored by TX Sparks Construction, TX Sparks Luxury Homes, SuperConstruct, and DECCAN® Stones.
Guided by the vision of Ravi Polishetty, founder of REF Events and TX Sparks Construction and strategic partner with SuperConstruct, the event was designed as an essential organizational meeting model—showing how cities in Texas, across the nation, and around the globe can bring stakeholders together to connect, collaborate, and build smarter communities.
Powerhouse Opening, Leander Leadership at the Center, and a Strong Community Close
The evening opened with remarks by event host, Lillian Powell, who welcomed guests, introduced the partners behind the event, and set the tone for a collaborative, forward-looking conversation about Leander’s future.
Held from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at 11880 Hero Way W., Suite 600, the forum featured a city-led presentation on Leander’s growth trajectory, infrastructure investments, and development-ready sites, followed by a Real Estate Forum networking reception designed to foster strategic connections between the public and private sectors.
“Leander is at a pivotal moment in its growth story,” said Councilmember Michael Herrera, who helped champion the joint event concept. “By bringing our development community, partners, and problem-solvers into one room, we’re not just talking about the future of Leander—we’re actively shaping it together.”
City staff outlined current and future projects, transportation and mobility priorities, and opportunities around housing, commercial development, and employment centers. The program highlighted Leander’s position within the Greater Austin region and its appeal to employers, residents, and investors seeking long-term stability and quality of life.
At the center of the evening was Leander’s leadership team, providing direct access, clarity, and direction to the private sector.
The program concluded with heartfelt closing remarks from local resident and realtor, Soomin Kim, who thanked attendees, City of Leander staff, Real Estate Forum partners, and regional leaders for their commitment to thoughtful growth and collaboration. Kim emphasized the importance of keeping conversations going beyond a single event to ensure that public and private stakeholders remain aligned as Leander continues to grow.
Ravi Polishetty’s Vision: Connecting Cities, Builders, and Capital
Following the presentation, the REF Networking Event gave attendees direct access to builders, developers, lenders, service providers, and city representatives in an informal setting designed for meaningful conversations and deal-making.
“REF exists to connect the people who move real estate forward,” said Ravi Polishetty, founder of REF Events and TX Sparks Construction and strategic partner with SuperConstruct. “When cities, developers, and solution providers sit at the same table, we can streamline projects, reduce friction, and bring better communities to market faster. What we’re building here in Leander is a blueprint for how cities in Texas, across the country, and around the world can organize, communicate, and grow together.”
Through REF, TX Sparks Construction, and SuperConstruct, Polishetty is leading an ecosystem that links municipal leadership, private-sector innovation, and real estate capital—creating a repeatable framework for cities that want to move from isolated projects to an aligned, long-term vision.
Strategic Partners and Sponsors
The event was supported by industry partners including TX Sparks Construction, TX Sparks Luxury Homes, SuperConstruct, DECCAN® Stones, and other regional sponsors who work closely with builders, developers, and municipalities across Texas. Leading up to the forum, social and digital campaigns from REF and the City of Leander helped drive awareness and attendance across Central Texas.
